Approached High Court
To a query on sealing the offices of SDPI, the State President said that the party has approached the high court against the sealing of the offices. In Dakshina Kannada, 16 offices of the SDPI have been sealed while in Udupi, four offices have been sealed. The court in turn had issued notices to the district administration and the police in this regard. The issue has not been sorted out due to the winter vacation of the court.
